Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♎ Libra tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 8 September 2029 at 10:44.
Harvest Moon after 13 days
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2029 after 13 days on 22 September 2029 at 16:29.
Moderate tide
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1960"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.8% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1960" and ∠1905".
Lunation 367 / 1320
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 367 of Meeus index or 1320 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 30 minutes and it is 40 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2029. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 14 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 55 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠331.3°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠331.3° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠348.5°.
Moon before perigee
11 days since point of apogee on 29 August 2029 at 04:45 in ♉ Taurus the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 10 September 2029 at 04:27 in ♎ Libra.
The Moon is 365 759 km(227 272 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 349 km(224 532 mi).
Moon before ascending node
6 days after descending node on 3 September 2029 at 01:43 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 6 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 15 September 2029 at 16:33 in ♐ Sagittarius.
7 days since the last northern standstill on 1 September 2029 at 23:36 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠24.127° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠-24.021° at the point of next southern standstill on 14 September 2029 at 18:54 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 13 days on 22 September 2029 at 16:29 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
